Hi, I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small lua.c32 wiki page at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32 With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2 functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function (run_command). Do we

Hi, Can we for syslinux 4.05 look to improve the LUA scripting functionality ? Functionality we are looking for is: - accessing filesystem (ext2, fat) - alternatively, access network services (tftp, ftp, http) - creating menu's from LUA - alternatively, generating and reloading syslinux.cfg The use-case would be to create a lua-script that, on boot, can scan eg. a

Since Syslinux 4.01-pre2, lua is the master branch. This lua.c32 moudule doesn't support much. There is a much recent lua.c32, made by Marcel Ritter's: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2009-October/013383.html The last time he wrote about the state of his lua branch: ============================================================ The current state is: - VESA: - switching to vesa mode

I'm running pxelinux configured to use the path /bios on the tftp server for all the comboot files. The problem is dmi,syslinux,vesa etc modules are not being loaded in lua. Syslinux.version() returns not found in global index as does dmi.supported() For k,v in pairs(package.loaded) do print (k,v) end; shows that these modules that are normally loaded by lua are not loading. I got an idea

Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

From: Hung-chi Lihn <hlihn at google.com> In the current Lua.c32 DMI implementation, it is a flat table with dotted names in table entries. It also misses a number DMI sub-tables. This patch, cleans up the DMI table structure using Lua's nested table structure and adds all missing DMI sub-tables. If a DMI sub-table is not supported by the hardware (not filled), then the corresponding

Hi, This series targets automatic boot menu generation, but most of it is the Lua upgrade, because I got tired reading deprecated API docs. It's mostly a straightforward forward port of the earlier Syslinux specific changes to Lua 5.1, except that: * I chose the add a stub getenv() implementation to the COM32 API instead of #ifdefing out all the references in Lua, and * I kept oslib

Hi, Yes, I'm back with this pet peeve of mine again. Most of the old cover letter at https://gist.github.com/wferi/6989458 still applies; I'd like to reiterate its last paragraph here, too: > And an official stat() implementation would be very useful. After > inventing mine, I noticed rosh also invented its own... Anyway, here it is: The following changes since commit

The following are new Lua c32 modules in 6.03-pre*: cmenu.c32: cpu.c32: dhcp.c32: dmi.c32: lfs.c32: pci.c32: syslinux.c32: vesa.c32: I am wondering whether the following modules, which are _not_ new and are also included in 6.03-pre*, have _any_ relation either to the above list or to Lua: cpuid.c32: cpuidtest.c32: dmitest.c32: pcitest.c32: vesainfo.c32: TIA, Ady.

Hi, Is it possible to disable the clear screen when loading syslinux ? Since the IBM BIOS on xSeries systems shows the MAC address of the onboard NICs, I would like to have them on screen when people do a kickstart fro mthe prompt using eg: ksdevice=<MAC address> I personally think that the clear screen is unwanted in most cases since people can add that to the boot message (ctrl-L) if

Hi, In a corporate environment we are not allowed to use DHCP/PXE for doing network installations. This means we have to look for other solutions. Our solution is to use an ISO image (mounted via a KVM solution) to kick off the network installation. A big problem currently is that the order of the network interfaces is arbitrary (depends on the order of the drivers loaded) and is not

Hi, we use PXELINUX in our product to show a boot menu on client computers, with options like "Boot from local hard disk", "Install Windows", etc. Unfortunately, a lot of computers seem to have broken BIOSes and won't boot with the LOCALBOOT command, and need to be booted with chain.c32 instead. We also have encountered some computers where it works only the other way -

Hi again, this is the second part of the patch extending lua. This time it adds the dmi functions (com32/modules/dmi*) to lua: dmi.supported(): returns true if DMI is supported dmi.gettable(): returns array of key, value pairs containing system info Sorry, but this patch does not apply cleanly if [PATCH 1/2] was applied before. There's just one line to fix in com32/lua/src/linit.c

playing with hdt on a soekris 4801, Im getting HUGE delays in cpu_detect.

Hi, Question number 3 :) I'd like to do something like this: display text.msg append text kssendmac ksdevice=eth1 ks=http://1.2.3.4/footprint/ default localboot label localboot localboot 0x80 label system?5 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.5 netmask=255.255.255.192 gateway=1.2.3.1 label system6 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.6

Hello Here is an attempt to reproduce PXE-like booting (having different config per MAC address) on other bootable media (ex : USB) It's a lua script that analyze dmi information and load a config file. As MAC address is not available in DMI (no driver has been loaded), selection is made by UUID, serial, product, manufacturer. Otherwise, default.cfg is loaded It can be usefull to have a USB
